Afternoon, I am looking for the baptism date for Jemima GILLARD who may have been born at Bovey Tracey 1839. Family search has a Jemima GILLARD at Newton Abbot 1839. This could be her also. She is with her parents at Bovey Tracey in 1841 and I have the family from there on in Regards Bev

Happy new year to all. My 3rd great grandmother was born 1809-1811 in either of these places according to records on ancestry and familysearch. Caroline Cross married Charles Willis in Marston Magna near Yeovil Somerset and now Dorset I think. I cannot find her parents or family so any help appreciated. Thank you.Julie

Hi Bev, The clue is in the name Union workhouse. .......and you will find that a number of parishes came under this union and the workhouse at Totnes was built to cope with the needy of these parishes in the Totnes union .( 28 parishes in the Totnes Union) So Henry Foale was chargeable to Cherston Ferrers , and Lee to Halwell and so on . This is the new system from 1834 Poor Law Amendment Act.. Each parish in the Union has a parish relief officer and it was his job to decide with the churchwardens and overseers of the poor , who could be kept in the parish on parish relief ( those who might be capable of some sort of paid work for the parish , laying out the dead, sitting with the dying , crow catching , scarecrowing etc.) and those who would have to be sent to the workhouse , mostly as you can see from this it was those young unmarried women who were pregnant, very old people and young women with 5 children under 5 who had mislaid their husbands and were simply too burdened with children to be able to do any work . life is hard . soften it with a cat \\\=^..^=/// ----- Original Message ----- From: "B.

Hi Julie,   There is no Caroline Cross listed in the Branscombe parish register transcriptions.  However, on the 1841 census there is a John Cross aged 25 and Joseph Cross aged 3 in the same household as Caroline and her husband and I think I found John in the 1861 census with a birthplace of Branscombe.  He is possibly this baptism:   Branscombe 30 Jan 1814 John Cross son of Samuel and Martha, dairyman: http://www.branscombeproject.org.uk/bap.htm   I see that Charles and Caroline did name a daughter Martha Cross Willis so John may be a brother.   There is no Caroline Cross baptism in the Cullompton transcriptions on Genuki which go up to 1812. http://genuki.cs.ncl.ac.uk/DEV/Cullompton/CullomptonBaptisms1798.html     Regards,   Joy ________________________________ From: julie roberts <dewie58@tadaust.org.au> To: devon@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, 2 January 2014, 4:02 Subject: [DEV] Caroline Cross from Exeter or Branscombe or Cullumpton Devon Happy new year to all.

Does anyone know what this property might now be known as, and where it might be? It is mentioned in a will of 1590.... Marlene Researching Snell, Hooper, Paddon, Drake, Greenslade, Tanner and so on ad infinitum

An excerpt from Family Tree Magazine article in Christmas 2013 issue by Diane Lindsay: "It's hard for the non-family historian to understand our hobby is a celebration of all our ancestors and that rather than piling the weight of mortality on our shoulders, it mostly makes us feel glad to be alive, to be part of a pattern, an unceasing patchwork of life, love and loss. For me, acceptance that you can't have one without the other brings comfort and understanding of where we fit into The Great Scheme of Things". Well said. Edna - Ottawa

I am trying to link together a number of STOOKE families, and wonder if anyone can suggest any way of possibly seeing the parish registers for Dawlish, where some members of the families lived. I am especially interested in the period 1770-1790. The registers do not seem to have been filmed by the LDS, and also do not seem to be entered in FreeReg -- are there any other possibilities? -- Keep well, Steve Hayes Blog: http://hayesgreene.wordpress.com Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/famhist1.htm E-mail: shayes@dunelm.org.uk
